I started as a business major, got my associates in business administration. Now I’m a year away from a bachelors in cybersecurity so this may be the best way to maximize my education! Thank you

Thank you for this information
As someone that has completed CISCO Cybersecurity courses, (Network Defense, Introduction to Cybersecurity) where can I pick up from?

Cool video. I'm interested in moving from incident response into GRC, so this was helpful to get some ideas to get started.

I did all these steps, currently at step 5 applying for jobs, and the struggle is real. The companies are not looking for entry level, I think the hardest part is trying to get that first job.

Is it easy for finance and Accounting background students to get placement in Governance risk and compliance?

[frankamangele]

Must we get all these certificates before applying for job.

[vimershkoul]

Does GRC analyst works in shift wise work or just a general shift as other fields, or GRC analyst needs to be alert 24X7 ?

[setasonte]

Does grc involve alot of writing documentations etc? And report writing?
